A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven’s vaulted hall A twelve crowned woman clothed in sun, the moon within her thrall Cried out in pain, and laboured long, a son-child she did bear The dragon, crouching at her feet, that child to rend and tear The dragon flicked his tail and swept one third of all the stars From lofty vault to abyss deep, to weep and tend their scars These fallen angels there did watch their dragon master’s plight As earthwards he ejected too, no match for Michal’s might The infant child, he safe refuge found, for half of seven years Transported there on eagle’s wings, while Satan crouched in fear His span cut short, his reign curtailed by him he would destroy Spewed forth a mighty torrent there to sweep away that boy The earth it swallowed up that flood, restored that desert place The dragon, now the more enraged, sought to destroy that race That race of men who virtue seek in grace and righteous fear Seek out the truth, all error spurn, and to their God, draw near
